Default RE: propane issue on Jetcat.........

John, after several attempts to start the turbine, I decided to try a few things for process of elimination, I was using the green bottles for the propane. would not start and bottles were low on fuel. I then switched back to powermax, same problem. then I plugged the powermax direct to the turbine this bypassing the propane valve. same problem.

so I know the valve is ok, propane does enter the turbine, but at a low rate, almost like it has a pinched line, kind of what a garden hose dose when pinched in half. it does fire on propane but barely. when I disconnected the propane line from the turbine, there is plenty of back pressure in the line.

nothing was disconnected or removed during the winter months.

if I was to remove the front cover would I be able to see the line?
